Dayton and Cincinnati, as anyone from the area will tell you, are merging together. As it stands, there are about ten miles of separation between the Dayton sprawl and the Cincy sprawl. We biked through those ten miles today, and they were glorious.

It's beginning to feel like autumn. We needed our blankets last night - a relief after the sweltering heat we've been experiencing throughout most of our trip. We're taking a day off to center ourselves at Maj's mother's house in Winchester, Virginia.
